Design Strategy for Academic Building Clusters in Cold Regions Based on Outdoor Thermal Comfort
Abstract
This study, grounded in the regional characteristics of cold-climate urban and rural areas, refines the outdoor thermal comfort prediction index and analyzes the impact of academic building cluster configurations on thermal comfort, proposing design strategies for performance improvement. Based on measured thermal environment data from university campuses in cold regions, the study refines the outdoor thermal comfort prediction index and proposes cluster configuration strategies derived from simulation experiments. When the D/H ratio is 2.50, outdoor thermal comfort and spatial perception are optimal. Among various configurations, L-shaped and U-shaped enclosures offer the best balance between thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and spatial functionality. The evaluation index for outdoor thermal comfort needs to be adjusted according to regional characteristics. Designers can improve thermal comfort performance on cold-climate campuses by optimizing the configuration of academic building clusters.
